- Chop the edges of the spinach stem and wash it nicely in water. I have filled in a broader vessel with water and soaked the spinach for sometime. The sand particles will settle down at the bottom of the vessel. Do not rinse the water, just take care to remove the spinach without disturbing the sand. Then chop the spinach and keep it aside.
- In a heavy bottomed pan heat the oil and add the mustard seeds.Once the mustard seeds begins to sputter, add the urdal and once it becomes brownish color add broken red chilies. To this add keerai and sprinkle little water to it along with turmeric powder and salt.
